WWE Tough Enough, Episode 2: "Five for Flinching"

What's going to happen this week on Tough Enough? It's the second episode of Tough Enough in 2011! On last week's episode Ariane was eliminated because she lacked the passion and desire it takes to be tough enough in the WWE. John Cena guest stars this week! Will we find out who is Tough Enough this season? Tune in to find out!

After the opening credits, Michelle and Eric return to the house thankful for being saved this week. Soon after the competitors start their training with the trainers. Stone Cold comes in to talk to the group. This week he talks to them about courage. He says he's seen paralyzed and others die in that very ring, but you must still have courage. Booker T says they're looking for someone who can prove they are tough with courage. Bill DeMott trains them in collar-and-elbow tie-ups and body slams. DeMott criticizes Ryan (a/k/a Skidmarks) on his lack of skills. Coming up, John Cena makes a surprise visit. Breaktime.

Back to the show... Jeremiah does a good body slam. Michelle got body slammed and got the wind knocked out of her. Trish Stratus asks the guys their names and Matt Cross is showcased. He and Luke have an exhibition in the ring as everybody watches on. Matt was very quiet and showed no charisma according to Trish. Luke decided to use that as an advantage to over-shadow him. John Cena sneaks into the training center and Stone Cold introduces him. After a quick look at his accolades he gives his advice to them and answers questions. Matt Cross asks if there was someone he hasn't worked with and that would be Stone Cold. Rima ass John Cena to marry her. She can't stop smiling at Cena! Stone Cold has the trainers body slam her repeatedly and she gets the wind knocked out of her.

Back at the house the group has some drinks while Jeremiah and Luke portray a wrestling event. The crew sees that they are close as we see their bromance growing. Coming up next, Stone Cold releases the hounds! Breaktime.

Annnnd we're back~! Mickael says "Skidmarks" is like a girl. Ryan/Skidmarks talks about his girlfriend Tiffany and he gets teary talking about being away from her for more than a day. The kids train until Stone Cold comes in. He says he has an activity planned for them and Ryan says he has no idea what the hell it could be.

They all head outside and Stone Cold introduces them to attack dogs! They have to put on a suit and run to a checkered flag across the field while an attack dog chases after them. AJ is up first, and he basically jogs. Michelle fails, Ivelisse doesn't make it, Eric runs and makes it with the DOG ON HIS ARM~! Christina is taken down immediately. Mickael talks shit and books it but is still tackled. Matt doesn't make it either. Luke drags the arm and makes it to the flag. Martin makes it as well. Andy runs and the dog wins. Bill DeMott can't believe it! Jeremiah makes it to the flag with the biting on his back. It's Skidmarks' time... he flails while running, the dog bites his arm, and he makes it~! "That was for you Bill!" It's Rima's turn and the dog is itching for a bite of the pretty girl. The dog catches up to her and takes her down. Austin: "Sometimes it's not worrying about the hit, and not the hit itself." Coming up, Bill DeMott squishes them! Commercial break.

When we come back, the kids are at the training center and Bill DeMott notices someone is missing. Rima wakes up later than the others and is late. Stone Cold says Booker T is at the SmackDown taping. Stone Cold calls this next training "Five for Flinching." After the corner squash DeMott gives them five body slams. Each attacks each one and Ryan looks scared. Everybody takes their licks like a man/woman with grit. Mickael has a bloody nose - he sticks a finger in his nose and sticks it in his mouth! Stone Cold thanks everybody for sticking it out and getting the job done. Stone Cold, Bill DeMott and Trish Stratus step into the office to deliberate before the commercial brreak.

Stone Cold asks who they think is at the top. Luke's name is the first to come up as everyone is impressed. DeMott says talking to Eric is like a brick while training, but Stone Cold loved him talking trash to the dog. Bill says Skidmarks is a goof. Trish was upset about Matt not showing her anything impressive when she gave him the opportunity. Rima's name comes up and they say she needs to stick to it and get motivated, and her being late for training doesn't help her chances.

Back to the ring, Stone Cold says what he takes in consideration is from ALL of training and not just recently. Matt, Ryan (Skidmarks) and Rima are all told to go pack their bags and see him back in the ring. Back at the house, Matt is slightly worried and Michelle advises him to say what's on his mind to save his ass. Rima is more worried about what they will say. Rima: "I don't wanna go back to Miss USA; I wanna wrestle." Mickael tells Ryan he thinks he will be going home and Ryan FINALLY shows some balls and thinks Mickael will be going home next. Commercial break.

Back to the show and Stone Cold narrates if you don't have courage to be in the WWE then you have no chance. Austin says tonight is the last chance to save their ass. Stone Cold asks Rima, Matt and Ryan what they see when they look in the mirror. Ryan spiels something that sounds scripted. The answer Stone Cold was looking for is: "To be a WWE Superstar." Austin rashes on Matt for not showing his capabilities to Trish when she asked him to. He asks Rima if she was late out of arrogance or laziness. She says she didn't ask what time to leave the house (but I think it's laziness). Austin asks if her body can handle this. Stone Cold asks why Ryan is in this business and NOW he says "To be a WWE Superstar." Matt says Ryan can't handle being away from his girlfriend for two weeks, let alone months on the road. Stone Cold says he can't be crying, and he needs to be stronger. Stone Cold asks Matt why he is there after 9 nine years in the indie circuit and hasn't shown much of his potential, and Matt answers that he was waiting for his moment. Stone Cold has a "moment" and says he didn't wait for his moment when he was the Ringmaster. He stepped his game up and became one of the hottest stars in the WWF/E. Matt didn't want to be too flashy and he was waiting for the right time. Austin turns to Rima telling her not to be late again.

Stone Cold asks for Matt Cross' belt back and Matt DOESN'T LET GO~! Matt says "No!" and Austin tells him he took too long to shine and he lost his chance. Matt is dumbfounded and in disbelief (and so am I) as he reflects on what he should've done to impress the trainers. Austin: "It's put up or shut up."

On next week's episode of Tough Enough, the Big Show makes an appearance. Also, Bill DeMott storms the house to wake this kids up for more torture! That's all for WWE Tough Enough - now onto Monday Night Raw!
